Deathlove posted:Really hated that new font. I think it's the same font just rendered differently, probably due to Onstad using a different image editor/workflow. I can get Blue Highway to look preeeeeetty close to how it does in classic Achewood using Photoshop 2024 but sometimes the kerning is just a tad off, and I can't get the italics to slant exactly right. I was fiddling around with that a bit to try to upscale some panels to much higher resolution, since I kind of want to get canvas prints of the "drat, this is a thing, isn't it? / our every move is the new tradition" panels as I am sorely lacking in esoteric nerd wall art.

iirc the Blue Highway that is available online isn't quite the same as the original that Chris used - it's been tweaked by the creator of the font, who has now lost the original.

This feels like a re-hash of the SoftBoys arc except Circus Penis is now Elon. Or him blowing a guy in a danger van. It's almost a trope seeing Teodor constantly give up his dignity at this point. Credit where it's due, I have zero clue where this is going. It's turning into a SickAnimation clip.

I'm going to go with this is Ray finding a way to pay Teodor a stipend without letting him know it's him paying.

It's also a little awkward that instead of fun alt-text we see Onstad desperately trying to sell his house in Portland. I guess fiction slightly matches the situation of the author.

I don't think he is actually trying to sell his house on patreon and I doubt he would have any difficulty selling a house in Portland of all places

Weird, I distinctly remember the Rockford Fosgate storyarc and yet I have no memory of this strip of Showbiz wanting to start a business with Roast Beef teaching people how to rob banks. Oh well, I'll count it as being new to me! The follow-up strip is a delight too. Roast Beef: He uh he is partying down in Cozumel the chicks there are uh they are just insane this time of year Ray: Huh, that's weird! I've always heard that the chicks in Cozumel are pretty conservative this time of year!

That strip always sticks out to me for the "I thought that poo poo was just old mayo!" "That don't exactly explain why you tried to eat it" exchange.

He was doing a big PR push around that time to sanitize his image and all those weird cameo were dumb dogshit Hope that's not the case with the last strip and his appearance is just some fakeout or something

I don't think it's a coincidence that those seasons were produced at the same time that Greg Daniels was focused on getting The Office up and running - it seems he was the one keeping Judge's dipshit libertarian tendencies in-check.

(and obviously it's no coincidence that most of the ways "society was failing kids" sprung out of the Reagan years, but that people didn't take notice until the Clinton years)
